    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I only went as my sister won tickets to the review, i wasn't keen on going and had no intention of seeing this film as I was expecting a chick-flick, which i find quite dull. However, i was very pleasantly surprised...this film has a lot of emotion running through it, was superbly shot and very touching. I did not recognise Kristin Scott Thomas at first as she looked so drab and worn out, its quite a difficult subject that it takles but does so in a sublte and delicate way.

    Although it is probably more of a girl film than a boy film, I do think guys would actually quite enjoy it. As with all good subtitled films, after the first ten minutes, you do not realise you are watching a subtitled film!

    My only negative point is that it was slightly too long (nearly 2hours), but a numb bum was a small price to pay for a superbly directed/acted film which will bring about many discussions. This should certainly win some nominations if not prizes!

    Simple, elegant, thought provoking, thrilling and sensitive. Ditto all other reviews rating this film above 4. Kristen Scott Thomas character travelled a long emotional journey in the last 15 years and it shows in how frail and elegant she is.

    I wasn't too sure whether to rent this film or not but I am so glad I did. You could say it is a typical French film and brilliant for it. Well acted and at a good pace. It may not be for everyone but I totally enjoyed it.

    A very moving and well acted drama. The pace and development of the story is just right. As good a film as I have seen in a long time, but then Kristin Scott Thomas in these french relationship dramas never disappoints

    Kristin Scott Thomas is outstanding in this. French with sub titles. Woman returns to her family (sister) after being banished for 15 years. A very good film from someone who does not usually like French films. Powerful and deep social commentary..
